Rituals From a Dying Forest
Darkness, we won't lie down We are not hiding from the sun Darkness, burn my fingers We won’t fade, take away my soul Solitude, burn the forest down We are not there we won't lie down We won't let you dig our graves We are waiting we’re not buried Eat the dirt and fill our lungs Echoes of a past life We are not there we will not burn Tie the noose and kick the stool Open my mind and my eyes Sharpen my teeth like a sword Darkness, we won't lie down We are not hiding from the sun Darkness, burn my fingers We won't fade, take away my soul Walk into the ocean Break through the frozen lake Mark their graves, Wipe the stones Set them ablaze and fall on deaf ears Wait for dawn, Drown the sun Set them ablaze and scatter their ashes Walk into the ocean Break through the frozen lake Walk into an eclipse Break through a burning bridge Echoes of a past life We are not there we won't lie down We won't let you dig our graves We are waiting we're not buried Eat the dirt and fill our lungs Darkness, we won't lie down We are not hiding from the sun Solitude, burn the forest down

Carve the sigils Scatter the bones We will survive the rapture A crisis of faith A crisis of faith Corrupting me Burning through me Wasting me away Paint the bathroom floor As red as a summer sunset Can I take my soul to the grave Wait until the ravens circle Wait until the clouds turn to rain My future fades out Tearing through me Burning through me Wasting me away The sky turned grey reflecting my eyes Black teeth and a hollow throat Pull myself apart at the seams Pull the stitches and expose the veins Disassemble Plant the seeds of desolation Crows carry me to the afterlife Carve the sigils Scatter the bones We will survive the rapture A crisis of faith Watch the rise and fall Watch the ocean tide Pull me under your wings You could eat me alive\ This is my resolution I can feel you fading from me This is my final calling I can feel you slipping away Disassemble kill me quickly Carve the sigils Scatter the bones We will survive the rapture

Light the torches Fill the trenches with their bodies Bury your dead Soar on the wings of survival Calloused hands Heavy incantations Slowly descending Slowly dissolving Dark water calls out my name Carry me through an endless winter I can survive on silence alone Encased in solace Entombed in despair White walls surround me This black feeling betrays me We will be silent tonight The winter spills into my bones Remember your name Remеmber your mind I turn to glass and shatter Shards in my throat Shards in my throat Why can’t I breathе Why do my lungs fill with blood when I scream When I scream Why can’t I breathe Why do my lungs fill with blood when I scream Fill with blood when I scream A shrine to my sincerity Like bones in an endless ocean Like the breath of a dying angel When I disappear When I find the end of my affliction An addiction that destroys me I will not betray my future I will not descend in silence A reckoning of my faithless spiral A soul searching for solitude In the arms of a thousand devils I turn to glass and shatter Shards in my throat Shards in my throat Lifeless I ignite Moratorium of transcendence Cold in the ground lifeless in the dirt The fate of a curse The end of my anguish An endless superstition An endless incantation Another needle in my eye

It’s been too many years the light has left me The cold reality, the cold reality A mirror I push my hand through Black candles and a black mass You take my light Pull me into darkness God has sent me down, bring forth the exodus Pray for a thousand locusts, trampled by the hordes Resisting the razors The apathy of the dead Smoldering ashes we are unborn Lay the stones Mark the cardinal directions Bring out the skulls, bring out the skulls I slip into a time forgotten I slip into a perfect silence I am the king of the dеad I wear a crown of your bones I can’t suppress thе intent I can’t surrender my blood I slip into a time forgotten I slip into a perfect silence Lay the stones Mark the cardinal directions Bring out the skulls, bring out the skulls I am the king of the dead I wear a crown of your bones I can’t suppress the intent I can’t surrender my blood God has sent me down, bring forth the exodus Pray for a thousand locusts, trampled by the hordes Resisting the razors The apathy of the dead Smoldering ashes we are unborn It’s been too many years the light has left me The cold reality, the cold reality Sinking beneath the current of lies

We fade into dreams Sinking faster than my screams We fade into dreams Sinking faster than my scream I’m underwater You pull me under Drowning faster I’m falling forever This is the solution the eyes of a god The eyes of a thousand years This is the solution the eyes of a god The eyes of a thousand years The eyes of a thousand years I need to know I will see you on the other side On the other side I need to know I will see you on the other side I need to know I will see you on the other side I can hear your heartbeat underground We invite death with open arms And open graves No grace in my soul Open graves and no grace in my soul Open graves and no grace in my soul Stare into the soul inside Wait until the soul has died Stare into the soul inside We’re a silent suicide

Show me your horns Show me your cloven hoof I will sign my name I will await my fate Take me to the seventh circle Take me to the end of days Put my head on the chopping block Sharpen your knives and your teeth We won’t wake up from this dream We are pure until we awake Call me a curse and put me down Lay me to rest and pour the dirt Will I fade into the void or emerge unscathed Will I float with a stone or be burned at thе stake Empty forest and no sun Cold and hidden wait for mе My soul is a coffin I breathe in dirt I call out to your ghost Will I fade into the void or emerge unscathed Will I float with a stone or be burned at the stake Show me your horns Show me your cloven hoof I will sign my name I will await my fate Take me to the seventh circle Take me to the end of days

Wrap me in my destruction Like a sound that never ends Corporeal threat Anonymous torment Take my body and blood My body is mud Return me to the ground, return me to the ground In the darkest realm there is nothing that could change me Emerging unscathed, forgotten and cold we die alone We will never burn for you In the darkest realm This could be the way I fade from memory Memory The weight of consciousness, the weight of my mortality Once I was an avalanche, crack apart my foundation We will never stand down, we will never stand down Once I was an avalanche These are the voices of an ancient These are the bones of my ancestors Chaos consuming my carcass Chaos corrupting my shadow Sinking beneath the current of lies The weight of consciousness, the weight of my mortality Wrap me in my destruction Like a sound that never ends We will never burn for you This could be the way I fade from memory
